Singer Lim Young-woong's 'Father' music video garnered more emotion by reaching 16 million views.
The 'Father' music video, which was released on Lim Young-woong's official YouTube channel on August 9 last year, exceeded 16 million views on September 1.
'Father' is a song included in Lim Young-woong's first full-length album 'IM HERO', and is heart-warming as it tells the story of a father suffering from dementia.
Lim Young-woong, who lost his father at an early age, said about 'Father' in 'Reload Ep.3 Singing in Ireland', "It was not easy to sing 'Father'. The more I practiced and the more I recorded, the more the lyrics touched my heart and the harder it became to sing." He said.
Lim Young-woong also recalled his mother, saying, “When I think of my father, nothing comes to mind.” Lim Young-woong recalled his childhood, saying, "I also have a lot of thoughts of my mother and the good times I had when I was young," and added, "I substitute my mother for that. In the past, I would pull out my mother's gray hair and receive pocket money to go pluck it."
Lim Young-woong expressed his hope, “You will feel heartbreaking while listening to this song, but I hope it is a song that makes good moments become memories.”
